Notes
This company also operated as Murrays Book Sales (Kings Cross) Ltd. It used imprints and brands such as The Abbey Library, Abbey Classics, Castle Books, Murray Remainder Books, Murrays Children's Books and the Murray Group. (See seriesofseries.owu.edu/abbey-library-murrays.)
Murrays produced many children's books, including infants books based on nursery rhymes and fairy tales, activity books and pop-up books. It also published art books and reprinted some classic literature. A number of books appear to be translations of European publications.
The company may have been a post-world war 2 dealer in remaindered books that expanded into publishing inexpensive reprint series, possibly using plates acquired by their remaindering business. The last titles by the firm appear around 2000.
